This is not a topic that's open to discussion or debate. If you have an issue with a map, you have the ability to report it. If there's a concern with map publishing or the mechanics of what a map allows, please post it in the map development forum. -Bashiok http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25172042929&sid=5000&pageNo=6 Blizzard seems to be getting increasingly "aggressive" about BNET related threads. Bashiok replys to a thread about a legitimate concern about the safety of BNET 2.0 content. Many other users post pointing out that the "Rickroll map" has been up for several days. Suddenly Bashiok comes in deletes all the posts after his and locks the thread  | ||

Hopefully it's their angry response after getting their asses kicked verbally down the line for having B.Net2.0 as a huge social collective blunder for gamers, and word finally getting to the stockholders about how pissed off Blizzard's loyal customers really are. There's always hope. | ||

I say they don't care about eSport because they see it as a money drain. if they really wanted esports then how come there aren't any WoW professional leagues in the US organized by Blizzard? seeing how BIG the WoW there. they do a abit with the tourney servers (which ofc cost like 20$ for access!) but overall i think they realise that wow just is super shit for esports and is pure fotm OPtrain. also its like the worst game for viewers EVER. "oh look.. this guy is running around and some magic and oh... someone died just somewhere because of something... ermm great played!..." srsly, super mario lost levels speedrun contests would be more competive and better for the viewer then wow. so its no wonder that they dont really care.

I'd really liked to know the rationale behind the decision. Have you ever worked for a company where the management is making absurdly bad decisions and it's your job to support and explain those decision to others? It is fucking frustrating as all hell. Saying "this is how it is" and ending the conversation is a natural response. | ||

Not particularly, but in the next few weeks I expect there to be some changes made for the better of the hardcore community. For one, the closing of Craft Cup had to have opened some eyes to the way players are to commune with each other on a competitive level. Forcing people to share e-mail information to participate in any type of competition probably wasn't the desire of the system. But lately, that's what it's turned into. Whether it was intentional or not, I think we know the immediate answer seeing the framework of the system. Secondly, having people reporting hackers constantly with common names and not having true access to their identifier with the recent patch had to have caused a few solid headaches, I doubt blizzard enjoys having to go through the replay data and parsing account information on common nicks to figure out who the real problems are. I suspect big changes when this game goes live, or shortly before or thereafter. Edit: Sorry it seems like a really vague explanation, but if you recall, I was the one that broke the Gamestop key deal before almost everyone at gamestop that even works there knew about it, the thread I made is somewhere around here, my sources are typically extremely reliable. Just sit back and enjoy the show. Edit2: You can see my previous fine work here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=120591 | ||

I'd really liked to know the rationale behind the decision. This has happened to me 3 times on the Blizz forums. I've been tempbanned 3 times for "Trolling" due to posting bnet threads, one of which even asked users to reply in a very respectful manner, no flaming, etc. I got 25 pages of reply with pretty much no flame toward Blue whatsoever. Topic was deleted and i was tempbanned for "trolling" It was and should be unlike them to say that flat out, but it's becoming increasingly more common. "Don't give us beta feedback. Banned". | ||

However on his recent blog... Battle.net 2.0: The Antithesis of Consumer Confidence I’m late to the Battle.net 2.0 Hate Party, but I brought a keg, so here goes. I don’t get angry about video games. Passionate? Yeah, it’s pathetic. But no, not angry. Game developers are people, too. They got bills to pay. But Battle.net 2.0 makes me angry. Starcraft II is excellence. It’s sensational. Dustin Browder knew this game was his legacy and his squad delivered. And it’s a fucking shame people are going to turn on this product for things Browder has no control over. Right now, the Battle.net Forums look like the Battle of the Somme and Starcraft fan site TeamLiquid is trying to disown the game. The internet has shat a brick. What the hell happened? I wasn’t around for the “Atari owns the industry” days. But in my lifetime, nothing tops Activision-Blizzard, a corporate culture whose roots lie in four developers who escaped Atari’s corporate culture. I have never seen one company try so hard to tell me this is the product I want. Battle.net 2.0 is supposed to be the future of online gaming. Instead, it is the antithesis of consumer confidence, a combination of corporate suits who don’t play video games and game designers who can’t do damage control. Fine, tell me it’s wrong to assume an Activision corporate culture would impact its corporate partner. You know, where the President of Blizzard Entertainment answers directly to Thomas Tippl, an executive who answers to Activision C.E.O. Bobby Kotick. The Bobby Kotick who disowned projects that lacked “the potential to be exploited every year on every platform with clear sequel potential”. The Bobby Kotick who stated he wants to “take the fun out of making video games.” Or you can see what happens when an online gaming service is not a game design decision. — Economics is consumer confidence. People don’t buy products. They buy confidence a product will bring utility or enjoyment to the user. That’s why the success of sequels reflect on their predecessor, where Guitar Hero III is the best-selling game in the series and Modern Warfare 2 outguns Call of Duty 4 on a two-to-one basis. Starcraft II is a marketing nightmare. It is the sequel to a twelve-year-old computer game, a beacon in the forgotten era of Deus Ex and Baldur’s Gate. Why forgotten? Computer gaming sucks ass. If you aren’t playing Modern Warfare 2 (latest in a series popularized on computers) on your X-Box 360 (manufactured by the producer of Windows) on X-Box Live (Battle.net, Yahoo! Games, The Zone, etc.), you’re a fucking pussy. Unless you play World of Warcraft, the skinner box that shares nothing in common with Starcraft. ![[image loading]](http://www.the-ghetto.org/content/pictures/battlenet7.jpg) The greatest test of skill in video games: A niche market.

The community feels betrayed by the one company we trusted. Now I dont agree with everything Ghetto says. Specifically I think there is a level of respect we should try and show Blizzard that his blog falls short of. However what hes saying really is, like you said, representative of much of the communities feelings.

I would but, as Chill points out, boycotting isnt really an effective form of protest. I share your aggrevation over the whole thing but I feel the best thing to do is continue voicing our opinion to Blizzard. And that is not contradictory to playing the game we all love. Also something people might find interesting. Blizzard recently commented on a TLO game on the BNET forums. Only one problem....it wasnt the real TLO. I wonder how many more of these situations we need before Blizzard realizes identifiers are important. http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25172043834&pageNo=2&sid=5000#24 | ||

It's simple. When I play on U.S. West, I want to play with people who speak English. | ||
